date Januaruy 20 2026 Birthday Party Burlington MA
I
hired The Boston Rovers for my fiancé’s 30th Birthday at our house as I
was planning an “Irish Pub” themed party. Jim and the band were
AMAZING! Everyone loved their energy, talent, and also funny banter
with the crowd! They really got the party going and no one wanted them
to leave! They made sure they communicated with me throughout the whole
process and made sure it was just how I wanted . I can’t thank them
enough for a truly wonderful night! If you are looking for an Irish
Band, definitely consider the Boston rovers!

The Boston Rovers made our corporate event such a special evening!
Everyone on our team thought they were terrific and my experience

seamless. We can’t wait to do it again!

We had a small family gathering at my house. The Boston Rovers were
very friendly and had us laughing all night. My request to end the
party with a family favorite, made the evening special. My family wants
to make this a yearly tradition! A fun time was had by all!!!

Review September 30,2022 Best Band Around
Kind,friendly and extremely talented!
We had the pleasure of having the Boston Rovers play in our backyard
for a suprise 35th anniversary party and they were an absolutely a hit.
We were told by a couple that the best part of the surprise was the
band!All the guests were dancing and singing along to familiar pub
music,making it feel like we were truly in Ireland.
Jim was wonderfuly to work with.He was extremely responsive to or
question,and attentive to our requests. You can tell Jim,Alan and
Taylor all have a true passion for what they do.We would love to hire
them again in the future! (review from Gigsalad)

The
Boston Rovers played a St Patricks Day party at our house. What a fun
night we had! They played upbeat Irish music and everyone loved their
performance. On top of being talented musicians they were fun and
engaging with our guests. Jim was great to work with for booking and
logistics. We would highly recommend The Boston Rovers!.

The Rovers played my
Mom's memorial at the end of August.
James responded promptly to my request and was kind, genial,
accommodating, and professional. The 'lads' were also a pleasure and
all very talented. Their set list and banter struck the perfect tone.
Our guests enjoyed them immensely. I am so grateful to them for helping
us honor Mom exactly as she wanted. -Brigid B, Dover, NH

Boston Rovers made my hubby’s 60th
birthday a complete success! Our backyard barbecue party might have
otherwise been a bit of a flop due to rainy weather but the Rovers
added a huge element of fun! -Cathy C, North
Easton, MA
I hired these guys for a Celebration of Life party for a dear friend
that passed away. They were punctual, professional, respectful,
stress-free and played lighthearted songs that my guests really loved.
Couldn’t have been a better experience!

Jim
and the Boston
Rovers were absolutely wonderful. Hired them to play my 40th birthday
party at
a bar in Malden and the experience couldn't have been better. They
played some
old favorites, some sea chanties, classics, covers and even one Van
Halen song for
me. If you like traditional Irish sounding music, I strongly recommend
the
Boston Rovers. -Neil O,

The Boston Rovers played at the gathering
after our Dad's funeral. When he passed, Dad always said he wanted a
big party with Irish music and that's what we did. The
Rovers were great - and we had a wonderful celebration of Dad's life.
I've had several comments about how much people enjoyed them. I'll
definitely keep them in mind for future parties. thanks again, The
Family of Ed Casey-Patty C.
